8 HOURS IN CAMBRIDGE

Saturday, 5 March 2016

Ohhhhh Cambridge what a beauty you are!

Cambridge has always been one of those places I'd been wanting to visit for a long time but just never did find the time to and I specifically wanted to go punting on the river Cam. Punting in Cambridge is like visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it's an activity you just GOTTA do and experience, so with some great company and some prep words for sea sickness later... we did just that.The punting tour started at Mill Lane, passed through the sites of 'the backs' of the colleges including Trinity college and under numerous bridges such as the Bridge of Sighs and the Mathematical bridge and finishes at quayside. I couldn't help but think I stumbled into Venice for a brief moment I was there, it was bloody cold but they were so kind to supply us with blankets and hot water bottles, how cute was that?! The university colleges were immensely overwhelming and beautiful to look at, the place was completely soaked in history and people whizzing through the cobbled roads on bikes. What I noticed was that the buildings tourists were photographing were the student accommodations, utter GOALS right?!

I've always wanted to go to Cambridge, my sister and her boyfriend recently went for Valentines Day and kept saying how lovely it was! These pictures are fantastic xxhttp://www.britishmermaid.blogspot.co.uk
